Ingredients:
2 c flour
1 1/2 t baking powder
6 T butter, softened
1/3 c shortening
3/4 c sugar
1 egg
1 T milk
1 t vanilla
25 maraschino cherries, halved and drained
Instructions:
Mix together flour and baking powder in bowl and set aside.
Cream butter, shortening and sugar. Beat until fluffy. Add egg, milk and vanilla, beating well. Gradually add dry ingredients. Mix well. Cover and chill for 30 minutes, in the bowl.
Shape dough into 8 inch rolls, wrapping rolls in waxed paper, and then chill.
Cut rolls into 1/4 inch slices and place each on an ungreased cookie sheet. Place a cherry half on bottom half of cookie slice (this is the clapper of the bell). Fold in the upper left and upper right, overlapping in center and concealing just the top of the cherry- so that it looks like a bell.
Bake at 350 degrees for 12-14 minutes or until done. Cool on a wire rack.
